Project Relife: 2x Isekai System

Chapter 48: Beer redemption scheme

"All troops of JSDF HQ. I repeat again, all troops of JSDF HQ Special troops included, there is a special mission that I am commissioning this time. I repeat again, I am COMMISSIONING A SPECIAL MISSION."

Hearing the broadcast, everyone's eyes widened. 'What could be the mission that he was even trying to mobilize the Special troops?' was the question in their mind.

The JSDF Special Troops, a group composed of all the elite members who have shown outstanding performance during their service period. Age wasn't an eligibility for getting added to this troops. Even a trainee or an undergraduate cadet can join this group as long as he/she has something that makes them different and special from the others.

"I want everyone to cross the area X20 and collect a special type of fruit for me. The fruit looks like a groundnut and reddish-brown in color. I will post an image soon, for reference."

Everyone was confused on why he was asking them to collect those wild fruits that grew out of nowhere. After the first magical wave hit the earth, the entire JSDF campus was severely affected by it. Wild plants and trees started to grow everywhere around the HQ, affecting the transportation of cadets and other vehicles.

After discussing the matter with other higher officials, Yamamoto decided to make a special team for uprooting all the wild plants within a radius of five-kilometer around the JSDF HQ building.

For the area beyond that, they decided to name it Area X20 and restrict everyone's access to it. Only the research division was allowed to access beyond that area.

When he heard Xin's request of collecting those fruits, he came up with the idea to mobilise the entire JSDF and collect as much as he wants. After telling everyone about their mission, he also added an incentive that hundred red pine fruits can be exchanged for a bottle of beer. In addition, there wasn't any restriction on how many bottles anyone could get using that method.

Some seconds ago after making the broadcast he was gonna switch off all the equipment connected to his computer. But Xin asked him to stop and sent him a message writing the incentive of beer redemption.

Yamamoto's plan was good, but there was one major flaw in it and that was the lack of a perfect bet. Having experience from his previous life as a programmer and entrepreneur, he knew well that the cadets won't work efficiently till they don't throw a bet for them. The beer redemption scheme worked as the perfect bet for them, and Xin was the one who was carrying all the costs of beer that was about to be distributed.

Earlier very few cadets were showing interest and were eager to participate in the mission, but when they heard about the beer redemption scheme, everyone became excited and started to think of ways to collect more fruits than the others. Some of them were excited enough that they were already leaving their work and were heading towards the entry gate of area X20.

Beer, whiskey, wine, and other alcoholic contents were strictly controlled in the JSDF HQ and very few of them had access to them. This fruit collecting mission was something that could give them a stock of beers for an entire month or two.

The ordinary staff and cadets were thinking of collecting 500-1000 fruits each so that they can stock up beer for the next upcoming months. On the other hand, the special troops members were planning to collect 2000-3000 fruits each so that they could get a big reserve of beer bottles for them. Unknown to all these intentions brewing on in their minds, Xin was of the idea that he would get at least 5000-6000 fruits for sure.

For the rest, he was thinking of hiring someone and make them collect the fruits for him.

Now that the work of fruit collection was dealt with, Ryuu got impatient and asked Xin the reason for summoning him there. Deep inside he had a fear that Xin had called him there to bully him using the power of his research division vice head position. But that wasn't the case in reality.

"Oh yes, I almost forgot about you. I have called you here to work with me as my temporary assistants."

"Temporary assistants?!" Nen blurted out.

"Yep, temporary assistants. And I need the help of you two to complete a part of this project."

Ryuu pondered over his statement for a while, then asked, "What type of help?"

"I want you two to make a new IDE software for me. The one I am using right now is lacking some major components and features for Projects SEDS. I will give you the source code of my current one and you will try to add all the features that are necessary for the upcoming projects."

Now usually Nen and Ryuu, both of them would have started to negotiate the price if it were any other client, but this time the client was the vice head of the JSDF research division. Asking him about remuneration was a shameful and embarrassing act that they want to avoid at any cost. More than that, they were willing to do it for free and establish a good relationship with him.

Xin had already thought of a good way to compensate them, and that was by making them his permanent assistants in future. On a first thought, it may not sound like nothing special but if they became his assistant, not only would they be able to earn big, they would also be able to get all the knowledge and experience that he had acquired in his previous life.

After having a brief discussion with the other two, Xin gave the source code in a pen drive and asked them to start the project as soon as possible. Both of them agreed in unison and left the room to start their work.

Xin also left the cabin after thanking Yamamoto for his help and marched towards the underground city where he was allotted a specially designed cabin of his own.
